How do you obtain liability and e/o insurance without a contract? Don't =
insurance carriers require to see your contract in Canada? The do here. =
You can't get insurance without the insurance carrier approving your =
contract.

Contacts are to protect you and your client. And you don't have to =
enforce anything in the contract if you don't want to.

If you're a small company can you absorb the cost of protecting yourself =
from a lawsuit without insurance and a valid contract to fall back on? =
If you think some nutjob won't try to sue you someday..think again. Not =
everyone is your friend.

Feeding at the trough? You don't think you have overhead for monitoring? =
- mailing billing cost, keeping someone on call 24hrs to answer clients =
questions, liability insurance, etc. You're adverse to making a fair =
profit? If your third party monitoring station only charged you a $1.00 =
a month for an account would you only charge $2.00 to your client?=20
